Overriding this method to support a GET request also * automatically supports an HTTP HEAD request. A HEAD * request is a GET request that returns no body in the * response, only the request header fields. * *

When overriding this method, read the request data, * write the response headers, get the response's writer or * output stream object, and finally, write the response data. * It's best to include content type and encoding.

When using HTTP 1.1 chunked encoding (which means that the response * has a Transfer-Encoding header), do not set the Content-Length header. * *
